Things you believe that you can't actually prove with evidence

[Deleted member 32561]

Piano dog, you funny.

Anyway, stuff I believe that cannot be proven, either now, or ever.

I do believe that Jesus Christ is a savior. I don't know if he's THE savior or one of many. But Jesus was a good man and even if he was not divine in origin, is worthy of studying, following in example, and even worshiping today. Buddha is much the same.

There's an afterlife. I don't know what it entails. But I refuse to believe that death is the end. Such finality would make life on Earth inherently pointless and not worth living in the first place, as eventually all trace of your existence will be wiped from the living realm anyway. Maybe it's reincarnation, maybe it's an "underworld" situation, or both. I can't say I know. I just know, in my heart of hearts, it has to exist.

There was a sauropod with a beautiful pelt of fur-like feathers that lived in cold regions during the Mesozoic. I mean. Come on. It's just too obvious of an idea. Woolly mammoths were a thing!

Chapstick is a scam. After I stopped using Chapstick, my lips stopped getting chapped. You get tricked into using it for the first time, and then if you don't continue using it you'll lips will get chapped and perpetuate the cycle. Just say no to Chapstick.

There's an afterlife. I don't know what it entails. But I refuse to believe that death is the end.

I absolutely respect your stance. I have to ask, how does an afterlife, reincarnation, or "underworld", change the finality and the pointlessness to life? If one was to live forever (through reincarnation, or otherwise) rather then one singular lifetime, how does that make that eternity less pointless?

Right...we are imagining (observing) where/when electrons are at any given time and their spin...which creates the matter in the world in which we observe!

Electrons are everywhere and nowhere at once (even stated in the link you gave)...which means it only needs to be what we want to observe at a given moment (what we all choose to observe and believe true...binding it all together)

It's based on the double slit experiment...which is a true and unavoidable fact that atomic matter, like electrons, don't do anything when not observed. Only when we actually observe the particle, does it start performing like we expect it to...everything when you get down to it is a wave, not real objects. Only when observed by our minds do the waves collapse and create the particle and matter.

That's why the universe is a hologram. It's basically one huge flat wave that we build perceived space out of through our collective conscious (that's why it can be infinite, cause it's just continuously constructed and deconstructed as we observe it)

It's basically Schrodengers cat but applied to the multiple universes. There are no planets out there with other living beings on them AND there are planets out there with other living beings on them. Both are true at once. At some point, we as a collective conscious will believe and observe a planet or extraterrestrial being making it a reality (and there are multiple universes where this collective observation never happens)

Many people believe we can affect the health of our own physical body with our mind (stress and depression deteriorates Health, laughter and happiness and conviction of being healthy actually heals the body) this isn't considered some voodoo delusion anymore. Likewise, the collective conscious affects the physical world as well. Everything that we are observing as humans is made out of basically nothing, but we believe and perceive it as a real solid reality

I never had a problem before. It worked great. But more and more, it's auto-correcting to words I didn't even come close to texting. Often times, it'll correct to absolute nonsense words no one would intentionally type. I feel like it's getting worse with every new phone I get (Samsung Galaxy 3, 5, 6 and 8).

You should test out my theory. Buy some Chapstick, put it on 3 times a day for 3 days. Stop using it. Observe for 3 days. Report back. It's for science!

There's an afterlife. I don't know what it entails. But I refuse to believe that death is the end. Such finality would make life on Earth inherently pointless and not worth living in the first place, as eventually all trace of your existence will be wiped from the living realm anyway.

I think the opposite. If there is no afterlife then it makes me want to live my one life to the fullest with out messing it up or anyone else's. I think if everyone believed there was nothing after death then people would be less likely to do immoral acts towards themselves and others.

That when WE die, we only wake up like from a bad dream in order to continue with our lives . Maybe another universe or plain of existence or what have you.

The meaning of "observation" in quantum mechanics is an essentially irreversible interaction of the system with a sufficiently macroscopic apparatus that admits a classical description, it has nothing to do with human consciousness.

This was a very interesting listen. Seems like the theory is that Facebook isn't listening through your microphone, but already knows enough previous information about your life and combines it with current information (such as location) to create accurate predictions.

I'm also convinced that matchmaking in multiplayer video games is much more complicated than just skill or rank based. I believe that Call of Duty WW2 has several trackers for various factors with each user. You'll be placed in "inviting" matches with lower skilled players to create a easier fun match. As time progresses and you begin to unlock crates, the match making will place you into increasingly difficult matches. The contracts that you choose will also affect your matches to artificially draw out the required time for the crate. For example, if you choose a easy 20 Kill TDM contract, it'll place you into a match that's already in progress to increase the chance that you'll have to play multiple matches. If you chose a shotgun contract, the matchmaking will prefer matches with players that have heavier leaning stats on ranged weapons or you'll get maps that have larger open areas.

Also I think you'll received better items in loot boxes when you have other players watching. Activision doesn't care what items you get when you're alone, but if there's a chance that it'll encourage other people to purchase crates, then you'll have better odds.

I find it hard to believe that after all of these years of revisions, they haven't refined the match making into much more calculated connections to promote further sales. The trademark for matching lower ranked players with higher ranked players to increase purchasable skin exposure being revealed feels like the tip of the iceberg.

I believe I was blacklisted for 2 years by my city for a job in my field after not getting a job when I was clearly the most qualified person* for a job and complained to a governmental ethics board. I went from getting interviews and being told 3-4 times I was a top 3 candidate to not getting interviews at all. Since then the people at the top have moved on and the moment they left I got a job.

*The city has to publish the names of the people hired if asked.

I believe I could've been a professional football goalkeeper playing for mid-tier teams in Scandinavia had I not been 10-15 kilograms overweight for most of my childhood and had more supportive coaches. When I was 16-17 I finally managed to get in top tier shape and got more chances playing for my youth club and at that time I was a top 3-5 goalkeeper in my age group in the entire country. I got hurt for some months, got depressed losing my spot, got heavier and quit at 18. I started playing for my youth club again at 20 because they needed a backup goalkeeper and asked me to come back and I wanted to lose some weight. After two months of training I had already proven to be better than the starting goalkeeper but the coach didn't feel it was fair to start me because I had come in late and not put in the same amount of work in the off-season and thought starting a goalkeeper who was 20 kilograms too heavy would reflect badly on his coaching despite me being a more skilled. That was my last season. Still to this day, over 10 years later, I meet people who remember me from football who saying how good I was. Kinda frustrating but having mostly stopped following football has helped me put it behind me and move on.

Click to shrink...

Because at least you'll continue to exist afterwards in some way, shape or form, even if it's beyond scientific understanding as we can now comprehend reality. If there is nothing after death, then, as I said, you're going to eventually have every trace you ever existed completely eradicated. And then, what point was there to your life? Even the big people who changed the course of history will inevitably be forgotten. If there's reincarnation, then it's a matter of constantly rewriting your story. If there's a hereafter proper, then there's also probably something that can recall what you did in life there, whether it be a deity or spirit or something like that.

I think the opposite. If there is no afterlife then it makes me want to live my one life to the fullest with out messing it up or anyone else's. I think if everyone believed there was nothing after death then people would be less likely to do immoral acts towards themselves and others.

Click to shrink...

I'm not entirely sure about that. I feel like people should inherently be doing moral acts because they're moral and not do immoral things because they're immoral, regardless. Sure, maybe there IS no reason to worry for those worried about an afterlife, but what harm is there in doing what you can to make life good for others anyway? I also feel like a lot of people have a more toxic YOLO mentality and as a result might go "Fuck everything" if they decide that all religion is bunk.

I believe in the current astrophysicist theory that our collective conscious (soul?) preceded the "Big Bang" and it created the 3D hologram image of the universe we live in.

That we only observe the reality of matter and gravity because we collectively believe it so.

The only reason our hands stop when we press them together rather than pass through each other because even though the particles that make up our hands are 99% empty space...is because we all believe that it makes up the solid matter that is our hands.

And that because the universe is just a "holographic" construct based on our collective conscious, there are probably an infinite amount of multiple universes that are offshoots depending on subtle differences occurring from slightly different perceptions of reality.

well, I have this weird layman idea that if the lunar impact hypothesis is true (a body referred to as Thea colliding with the proto-Earth), then the continental shelves might be one giant crater remnant.

I have no idea how one would go about investigating it (other than trying to find what the original continent locations have been and comparing it to the most probable angle of the hypothetical impact), so I'll leave this to geologists or whatever.
Yes, I know it's not "Aliens!" weird, but there it is.

http://www.collective-evolution.com...-the-universe-is-spiritual-immaterial-mental/

"A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a "mental" construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: "The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual."
